An interesting (and short) essay regarding the development of the Russian ironclad fleet from the Crimean war onwards: http://www.neva.ru/EXPO96/book/chap9-1.html
Though I notice there is not much mention of the Tsar's Aquanefs...
Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk with ramblings about Aeronefs, Dirigibles, Land Ironclads, Anarchists, Dinosaur Hunting, Terranefs, Aquanefs, Mad Scientists, and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make sense, but there will be claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"
